Oubliette: generally speaking they are severe cases of arrested development emotionally, socially, intellectually and spiritually.
Though I am no longer a JW, I will simply not go down the route of having no respect at all for all its members. I think this attitude serves the WT as it surely turns away JWs trying to get alternative, yet, logical and respectful arguments against their own teaching.

Toes up, I did vonlonteer planty at the conventions and yes, many are indeed self entitled a-holes, but believe me, the easiest way to put them in line for me was: So, which congregation are you from my loving brother?
You would feel their fear growing on them and do what ever you told them. As for elders, I sometimes pretended that I reported straight to the CO. It was like a magic wand.
In the end, no matter where you go, humans are humans and their Spiritual Paradise is non-existant.
That being said, does it mean it is a bad thing to make this video? I think not, I actually think that is a good thing. As for its infantile approach, well, if you are the type to push an old lady, you are obviously a retard and need to be talked to like a retard. This video is for these retards. The rest of the group can enjoy the break.

Oubliet,
with that logic, absolutely anything done by the JW should be condemned as they are a cult. On of the main reason I have left the JW was because they used to take things in bulk and call it evil. Everything from the world, even birthdays are bad.

I agree that it is a high control group, that it does destroy families and that provides a loop hole for child abusers... This forums has plenty of legitimate subjects that are harmful to the Watchtower. I simply do not see anything wrong with this video.
JW visitors to this site will simply see the "Apostates" as complaining about everything and anything and this will reduce the impact of our complaints concerning truely legitimate subjects as you hilited.

Well, to be honest, I thought that was alright. You know, not everything the JW produces is worth bashing and this little animation is not bad at all.
Yes, many of them act like complete jerks and everyone knows about this; thus, they are making these videos.
As for this dumbing things down... common... this is a light break in a boring meeting program that last 2 hours in the middle of the working week late in the evening... why not?
it was for a dear friend of the family that i have known all my life.now, bear in mind that i was born and raised jw, so my experience with catholic ceremonies can be counted on three fingers, a wedding, a "regular" mass, and this funeral mass.once they got down to the actual speaking about the deceased, i felt emotionally involved, but prior to that, i was watching and had questions about aspects of the services (these i have seen in common for all three times i have been in an rc church):why the "sing-song" voice during the prayers?
does god hear it better if you sound all spooky tenor?i observe that every time a reading from one of the gospels takes place, it is preceded by a big musical number:"alleluiah!
alleluiah"( "and nowwwwwwwwwwwwwww, heeeeeeeeeeeeeere's jesus!".

I always had a problem with the way the claim to be helping for disasters as there is no clear reports on the actual cost and transactions generated by the events. Its always general, very general as in "100 houses were rebuilt or fixed". I have seen this very often and that statement is amazingly broad in meaning.
At my age, I now understand that when an organization purposeful uses broad, non-specific information, then, you should assume the worst!
so where did god exist before he created the heavens?
in the streamed program from bethel uk this weekend, mark sanderson relates the parable from mt 18:23-35 where a master forgives the huge debt of a slave, but when the slave refuses to forgive a small debt owed to himself, the master throws that slave into prison.. look at the details of this parable.. the master is owed 10,000 talents.
this is 10's of millions of dollars, completely unpayable.
this represents our sin which we cannot pay for.. the slave begs for more time, so the master "lets the slave off and cancelled his debt" (vs 27).
Humm, you seem to apply modern concepts to a different time. The king was the king and could change his mind about things he already said. Heck, just for the sake of the argument, lets say the first slave never owed him any monney, ever... as the king, he could still put that slave in jail for life simply "because", i don't know... he didn't like his face.
That being said, if there is one area that the JW do not forgive is when they disfellowship people. They will hold that grudge until you patiently site at the back of their hall for 6+ month, obviously not forgiving freely.
